Pros

If you take the opportunities presented and are proactive you can be sucessful. Supportive of professional organization involvement.

Cons

Its been a difficult year, our office has experienced a recent large scale layoff, while I can be understanding of managements position, it is a bit hard to swallow when they are posting record profits.

Pros

When they do hire young ones, they do mean to train them. They have higher starting pay compare to similar positions in the area.

Cons

Company itself is not as caring as your co-workers. Unpredictable up-and-down cycles due to nature of refinery industry.
